Honey, you never visited natives in Georgia have ya?

I'm smiling because this is rather funny in a very "shallow gene pool" sort of way. Let's not even worry about this law.

Note that bill was originally written in early 2004. This didn't become an issue until yesterday when the amended version hit the news for the first time. From what I understood from the original post, it passed with no dissent 160-0.

Now the AP release said something about an Amendment adding 'piercing' but that is nowhere to be seen on the Georgia Senate website. I couldn't find that clause anywhere.

Definitely a case where a press release should be considered sensationalized.

Does anyone else see ironic humor in so many people and mocking Georgia as naïve and simple for enacting such a stupid law, when no such law was actually enacted?

The law referenced actually forbids the genital mutilation (as in partial or total removal) of minor females. Piercing is not even mentioned, and it does not forbid whatever a consenting adult might want to have done. The law is available for review on line. It’s actually been cited in this thread, with no discernable effect.

As we say in Georgia… “Oh well, they mean well… bless their hearts.”

I havent seen a news release from 2005, where did you see one lindalove? everything I've been able to find was from 2004

Maybe this is to deter "accidents." Allow me to explain:

My buddy's dad works at a hospital. One day, this couple came in. They were hooked to each other via their genital jewelry.

Ah, prolly not, but a good chance to tell a good story.

Yes, i am on board for that business!!!!
